Updated on: September 4, 2026 / 6:06 AM CDT / CBS Minnesota The man suspected of killing two people and injuring six others in a mass shooting at a downtown Minneapolis apartment complex Wednesday was facing eviction after a string of incidents including assault and allegedly showing a gun to apartment management, according to court documents. In a press conference early Thursday afternoon, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans announced his agency will specifically investigate the officers' use of force. Evans says the suspect is believed to be 35-year-old Carlton Neal Johnson, but that still needs confirmation from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office. Evans said the autopsy is underway, and believes "he died in an exchange of gunfire." Interim Minneapolis Police Chief Bill Peterson said during a Wednesday news conference that police were familiar with the suspected shooter. Peterson and Mayor Jacob Frey gave an update on the conditions of the injured officers later Thursday afternoon.
